Aluminium Smelter in Netherlands. Approximate location 53.30755, 6.9755.
Aluminium SmelterNetherlandsCO₂ reported
Delfzijl aluminium plant is an aluminium smelter in Netherlands with a reported capacity of 150,000 t of alumina/aluminum. It smelts alumina into primary aluminium by high-current electrolysis. It emits about 336,036 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 78,330 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 7% above the median aluminium smelter.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-43765147.
Bei 150,000 t of alumina/aluminum ist Delfzijl aluminium plant etwa um dem Medianwert von aluminium smelter in Netherlands (150,000 t of alumina/aluminum). Untersektor: aluminum. Als aluminium smelter benötigt es intensive Prozesswärme (typischerweise 600–900°C) für seinen Kernbetrieb — Wärme, die durch Dampfkessel, Öfen oder direkte Verbrennung geliefert werden muss, und Verluste durch ungedämmte Behälter und Rohrleitungen stellen verschwendeten Brennstoff dar. Modulare abnehmbare Dämmung kann diese Verluste um 80–96% senken, Oberflächen auf ≤45°C kühlen, mit Amortisationszeiten oft unter 2 Jahren. Aluminiumhütten nutzen große Elektroströme, um Tonerde in geschmolzenes Aluminium über 900°C zu raffinieren, und das heiße Metall muss durch Tiegel und Gießausrüstung fließen.
